“YOU are the leaker, you stupid, pea-brained, mother******* traitor. RESIGN,” Olbermann wrote in response to Trump’s tweet blaming James Comey and the intelligence community for allegedly leaking highly classified information.

“Donald Trump has now eliminated his own benefit of the confusion,” remarked Olbermann. “The Trump-Russia cover-up case is now about threatening people and firing people and pressuring people to keep them from investigating you and your colleagues.”

“The smoke doesn’t matter anymore,” he added. “Who needs Russian smoke when the White House is on fire?”
